Push Notifications

Modern push notifications with Weechat and NMA

  1. Sign up for an account on www.notifymyandroid.com.  Log in, click on ‘My Account’, then ‘Generate New Key’
  2. Install the NMA Android app (around $3 USD) onto your android device.  Launch the app and login
  3. Install pynma.py and nma.py to $HOME/.weechat/python.
  4. (Optional) Symlink nma.py to $HOME/.weechat/python/autoload
  5. In weechat:
/python load python/nma.py
/set plugins.var.python.nma.apikey "$myapikey"
  1. (Optional) To inly send notifications when detached from the screen: install and load the screen_away.py, then
/python load python/screen_away.py
/set plugins.var.python.nma.only_away on

Now you too can be harassed by inane IRC highlights no matter where in the world you are!  Thankfully, the NMA Android app has a ‘quiet hours’ in case you’d rather not be woken up in the middle of the night.

IRSSI Push notifications to GNOME desktop and Android device

IRSSI configuration

Install these scripts into $HOME/.irssi/scripts (and symlink it in $HOME/.irssi/scripts/autorun) to have them autoloaded when IRSSI starts.

Android configuration

Sign up for a notifo account, download the android app, and sign in with it. Make note of the username and API key, as you’ll be configuring irssi to use them.

You’ll be loading the scripts in IRSSI and setting 2 notifo parameters:

/script load screen_away.pl
/script load socketnotify.pl
/script load notifonotify.pl
/set notifo_username $USER_NAME
/set notifo_api_secret $API_KEY

Now receiving highlights while you’re away (detached from the screen) will send them to your android device.
